It was another sweltering day out yesterday so we kept the windows closed and air conditioning on last night.

Though we prefer to sleep with the windows open, I sleep deeper with the windows closed since they’re triple-pane and keep the road noise out.

My typical Saturday workout is a long and slow cardio session that lasts between 1-1.5 hours, though I want to start working up to 2+ hours.

Right before I left I realized that I hadn't used my ruck pack since coming back home so I threw it on.

I ended up using the elliptical for 30 minutes with the ruck pack on and a 20 lb ruck plate inside. By the end of it I was drenched in sweat, more than when I complete a longer cardio session.

After we run hours of errands tomorrow, we’re planning on taking a walk and I am going to bring my ruck pack with me. However, tomorrow I’m going to also add my 3 liter hydration bladder since that’s the complete set up that I’ll need for my GORUCK Light Challenge.

While Laura slept in I powered through my work inbox since it had built up while we were on vacation and I have been trying to get it back to a manageable level all throughout the week.

We went out for breakfast at a local bagel shop and then over to Starbucks to enjoy a regular Saturday morning together.

It was such a nice day that we decided to head over to a mall area that we enjoy hanging out at so that we could walk around.

We both wanted to just chill out today so once we finished walking around for a while we came home to binge-watch TV for a bit and relax. As we watched TV I fell in and out of sleep for a bit.

It was nice to recharge while relaxing, watching TV and spending time together.
